Abstract: One or more electronic device may use motion and/or activity sensors to estimate a user's maximum volumetric flow of oxygen, or VO2 max. In particular, although a correlation between heart rate and VO2 max may be linear at high heart rate levels, there is not a linear correlation at lower heart rate levels. Therefore, for users without extensive workout data, the motion sensors and activity sensors may be used to determine maximum calories burned by the user, workout data, including heart rate data, and body metric data. Based on these parameters, a personalized relationship between the user's heart rate and oxygen pulse (which is a function of VO2) may be determined, even with a lack of high intensity workout data. In this way, a maximum heart rate and therefore a VO2 max value may be approximated for the user.
